GM's New $9,000 Truck

When I saw that picture the fist thing that came to mind was how they would drive those trucks in Asia with the bed wide open like that. For some reason I visualized Americans doing the same thing. Lol.

 

Youve been to tenessee and kentucky then, because they will, loaded to the gills 1 strap over it and hauling as fast as it will go and no care in the world for the mess they leave behind them

 

Nowadays sadly the most common pickups here stateside are crew cabs with automatic transmissions, 6 1/2 foot beds and they’re typically midsize or full size costing more than a house! The ONLY new truck that you can buy with a manual transmission option here in the US is the Toyota Tacoma-and those will set you back anywhere from $29K to $45K-and Toyota sure isn’t discounting them!

Remember a few years back when Mahindra had plans to offer a compact pick up truck in the US that would’ve included a diesel engine option? Well the company screwed up and scrapped those plans.A lost opportunity.

Round here they seem to prefer the sissy 5'8 beds. I dunno but those proportions just look goofy to me. 6'6 bed just looks so much better on all 3 typical cab sizes. Exception being the Mega Cab Ram. Only look good with the 8' bed conversion IMO.

 

Please note the last line in the sales pitch. Can't license in the US, but they make nice Farm use only or Off Road vehicle.

Don' t think they will compete with toyota's in Asia or Fords or Chevys or Dodge over here.

 

At 99 HP it wont go very fast when its "loaded to the gills"... Id be willing to bet there are guys on here with motor bikes that have more horse power...

 

A P U probably has more.
